Portland Street Response Town Hall hosted by the Portland Committee on Community Engaged Policing (PCCEP)

A note from Progress Portland: below are details from the PCCEP meeting invite. We are encouraging is every person who can possibly attend show up and share voice on your thoughts and feedback in support of the Portland Street Response team. It is your chance to have direct input and influence on the future of PSR.

This should be a fucking no-brainer, but despite its successes, PSR has been short on budget, limited in scope, and has no long term plan for growth and success.

This is your opportunity to voice your support and offer your thoughts and suggestions on the future of PSR.

The input PCCEP receives will contribute to a formal recommendation PCCEP will be making to the mayor’s office and presenting to city council based on feedback gathered over the past year and from this event. Please show up in person or online.

If you wish to attend in person, you can RSVP here: PCCEP Town Hall on Portland Street Response Tickets, Wed, Mar 27, 2024 at 6:00 PM | Eventbrite

If you are not familiar with PCCEP, it is a committee mandated by a lawsuit from the US Department of Justice against the City of Portland and the Portland Police Bureau to act as a liaison between the Portland community and the Mayor’s Office, the DOJ, City Council, and the Police Bureau.

It is a unique arrangement in the Untied States and PCCEP is your conduit to having your voice heard directly to help shape the future of  policing and other aspects to ensure the safety and equity of every person in Portland. PCCEP makes recommendations using input from the community and evidence-based knowledge and practices. Please join the PCCEP Mailing list or watch for events here on our page.

We also encourage you to get involved. PCCEP is looking for new members presently.
